Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked brown rice
  • 7 cups water
  • 14 oz coconut milk optional, (Add another cup of water, if not using.)
  • 1 ½ tsp salt opt.

Instructions

  1. RINSE rice thoroughly in cold water.

  2. OPTIONAL STEP: TOAST over medium heat in dry skillet until it's golden brown and sounds like popcorn, stirring constantly. This brings out the flavor and makes the rice fluffier.

RICE COOKER:

  1. FOLLOW your rice cooker directions for brown rice. Put rice, salt, and coconut milk in first and fill the rest with water.

    COOK on the brown rice setting.

STOVETOP:

  1. BRING water, salt, coconut milk, and rice to a boil.

  2. TURN down to low and simmer for 1-2 hours (DO NOT LIFT LID!)

  3. SHUT it off and let sit for one more hour before lifting lid.

  1. INCREASE water to 2 1/2 cups water per 1 cup dry rice.

  2. PLACE all ingredients into covered casserole dish.
